Albatros (2005)

ALBATRos is a Product Data Management tool with project-wide scope and advanced interactive features, specifically tailored to space projects, supporting System Engineering and Quality Assurance (QA) from the product’s requirement definition phase to the Assembly, Integration and Verification (AIV).

It is a tool to centrally collect, search, edit and verify the product’s requirements, parts and properties including any relations inside the product tree as well as to documents, locations and people. The tool processes the information when required into formatted logs, lists, tables and typically required QA documents. Albatros allows this to be done through a single interface and in a highly automated manner. In this way, the project can maintain a design baseline consistent at all times, and available to the whole team.

Albatros includes requirements definition and verification, product tree generation, configuration item management, mass budget, trade-off traceability, highly automated project documentation, inventory and assembly control and many other features. Due to its unique architecture, Albatros supports teamwork in complex projects and allows to involve and guide the whole team through the system and quality aspects of a project.
